if you're going to mount the antenna on the bumper; it wont matter what radio you choose. its going to work like crap, and you may be able to talk to someone within a couple of miles, but thats about it.

if thats ok for your usage, then my suggestion would be to buy a 40 channel walkie talkie and put the antenna out the window when you are using it.

honestly, that will work just about as well as mounting an antenna on your bumper.

remember that only the portion of the antenna that is above the roof line is actually radiating a signal. the rest just gets reflected off the metal body of the vehicle.

seriously, just save yourself the headaches and buy a set of walkie talkies.
